[HELP] E6540 High Sierra install

[Hervé]

I would not expect so but there is no reason to use VoodooHDA when the ALC292 AppleHDA patch for the E6x40 has been available for the last 4 years...

 

Again, make sure you do not have any duplicate (and incorrect) PS2 controller kexts or settings that could affect your keyboard/trackpad.

my trackpad worked well with Release 5.zip  !

 

i tried install ALC292.kext. but not working . how to install it ? Default , Extract  E6540_HS_A22_disabled-HD8790M.zip (include AppleHDA , ALC292.kext ) and it not working !

 

-------update 

 

my audio worked well with kext AppleHDA-276.26-ALC292.zip on https://github.com/insanelydeepak/Patched-AppleHDA-for-Mac-OS-Sierra-10.12/tree/master/Laptop's

 

------thanks for all

For audio to work, you need to:

1. install ALC292 dummy kext (preferably in /L/E) and rebuild your cache
2. inject audio layout-id 1 in DSDT device HDEF
3. patch the vanilla AppleHDA kext as follows:

• replace 8419D411 by 9202EC10
  replace 8508EC10 by 00000000

i have some problem :

 

1. click Sleep mode -> not working , then audio stopped working

 

2. close the lid of the laptop and system still working -> must reset by power button

add CodecCommander.kext to /L/E

repair permission and rebuild cache

 

For sleep issue

 Make sure to disable hibernation as it's a prerequisite to get sleep & wake to work Ok on a Hackintosh:

• sudo pmset hibernatemode 0
• sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage
• sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null

noticed a RX 580 expresscard eGPU attached to one of these systems:

 

2013 15" Dell Latitude E6540 HD8790M + RX580@4Gbps-EC2 (EXP GDC 8.x) + macOS 10.13.5 & Win10 [nando4] (eGPU.io)

 

FCPX BruceX is accelerated and completes in 30s. Pretty good.

Hi. I did add these kext to /L/E but when I test if they are loadeble, I received this:

Kext with invalid signatured (-67062) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fc664e0eec0 [0x7fff9686baf0]> { URL = "file:///Library/Extensions/AppleHDA_ALC292.kext/", ID = "com.apple.driver.AppleHDA" }
